I posted this one year ago. It is time to share again.
Our country, not perfect, is still a remarkable place to live. My thanks to all who have served and continue to serve.
Our Flag
You salute the flag and what does it mean?
I wonder if I really understood as a young teen.
Can you see the freedom that we call the American Way?
Can you feel the history that brought us to this day?
War and Tragedy around the world and our troops went.
There are so many tales of bravery of the past and present.
The nightly news reports of other countries’ bloodshed.
Children now are orphans and so many soldiers dead.
Our Forces help us maintain this land of freedom.
For this generation and all the generations to come.
Know that America is special based on all that you have seen.
Stand up, salute the flag, and really know what it does mean.
